Abstract: A l'aide d'un système et procédé itératifs et cadencés de formation à la prise de décision, on présente à un classeur (30) de bois une série d'événements (52) cadencés à juger par ledit classeur (30) afin que l'évaluation mise en mémoire des événements par le classeur soit comparée à une évaluation mise en mémoire séparée des mêmes événements (54). L'évaluation mise en mémoire séparée peut être créée par un classeur expérimenté ou par le classeur (30). Lesdits système et procédé fournissent un environnement simulé dans lequel les capacités de prise de décision d'un classeur de bois peuvent être évaluées et améliorées. De préférence, lesdits système et procédé enregistrent une vidéo de morceaux de bois d'oeuvre (21), déplacés sur une bande transporteuse, à l'aide d'une caméra (20) et d'un enregistreur/lecteur de bande vidéo (VTR/P) (22). Un détecteur (28) d'événements détecte chaque morceau de bois d'oeuvre (21) de manière à ce qu'un morceau de bois d'oeuvre (21) soit classé par événement. Une commande informatique (26) est capable de déterminer le moment de survenue de chaque événement sur la base de signaux de synchronisation (trame) provenant du VTR/P (22) et du signal d'événement provenant du détecteur (28) d'événements. La vidéo qui en résulte peut être montrée à un classeur expérimenté qui classe chaque morceau de bois d'oeuvre lorsqu'il passe sur l'écran vidéo (24). Pour apprendre comment juger ou classer correctement du bois d'oeuvre (21), un apprenti (30) est assis à un poste d'entrée de classement tandis qu'un programme de formation est présenté. L'apprenti (30) classe chaque morceau de bois d'oeuvre (21) lorsqu'il passe sur l'écran vidéo. Ensuite, le classement de l'apprenti est comparé au classement du classeur expérimenté. Le résultat net desdits système et procédé est un procédé plus rapide et moins onéreux de formation d'un apprenti (30) que les procédés existants.

Title: Selectively actuatable lighter
Inventor: DOUCET MICHEL
IPC: F23Q2/16
Filed: 1996-06-03
Abstract: A selectively actuatable lighter device (10) is disclosed which includes a body (12) defining a reservoir for containing a combustible gaseous medium such as butane, and having a valve (20, 21) arranged to be selectively actuated between a normally closed position and an open position and a position which permits the exit of the gaseous medium. Such a lighter can selectively produce sparks at a location proximate to the gaseous medium exit to ignite the gaseous medium. Such lighter device embodies a resiliently releasable latch (16) which normally prevents actuation of a valve actuator (14) to the open position thereby preventing actuation of the valve. The latch is selectively movable to a position out of interference (Figure 14) with the valve actuator (14) so that the gaseous medium may be released and ignited by the sparks. The latch is resiliently structured and mounted such that once the flame is produced and the valve actuator is released, the latch returns to its closed or latched position.

IPC: B65B9/20
Filed: 1996-06-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for feeding substantially free flowing solid product charges (P''') in a continuous vertical form, fill and seal packaging machine (10) is disclosed. Improved transitional product flow from the computerized weigher (W) to the bag former and closer is obtained by tracking and sampling the charges along the flow path. In the method, the steps include sensing the presence of the charges along the flow path at two locations, comparing each sensed charge presence to a defined time target that has previously been determined and adjusting at least one operating step in accordance with any deviation found to cause the charge or charges to approach the defined time target for optimum operation. Either a predictive time adaptive control (77) requiring operator input, or computer control (76) can be incorporated into the method. A series of product charge flow enhancers (102, 103; 131; 121) are provided along the flow path to assist in maintaining the charges within the time target.
